# PixelAudio

A Library by Paul Hertz for the Processing programming environment.
Last update, 06/08/2026.

PixelAudio blends sounds and images by mapping between pixel arrays and audio signals.
PixelAudio maps 1D audio arrays onto 2D image arrays, transcodes audio and image data, and captures live gestures to play sampling and granular synthesis audio instruments.
Feel free to replace this paragraph with a description of the Library.
